Little Toy Guns

Chapter 5

"Are you sure you can't tell me where we are going?"

"Yup"

"Why not? I hate surprises, and you know it."

"I know. It is kind of fun seeing you nervous and trying to figure it out, though."

"Well, it's not fun for me."

"Your cute, you know?"

"Yes Mike, we a stablished that back at the restaurant where you got jealous of everyone staring."

"This is really bugging you, isn't it."

"Yes"

"Well, if you really want to know....."

"Yes, I do." I stated excitedly.

"Well, you see, we are...." He paused for a moment and the suspense was killing me. "Riding in the car and then we are going to a special location, and then who knows what could happen next."

"Mike, are you serious? You made me wait that long, with the suspense killing me, just so you can state the obvious. You are never this secretive, and we do this every week."

"You are cute when you are mad. Don't worry. It isn't that long before we get there."

"I know you think I'm cute, Mike." I said as sweetly as possible. "But I would really like to know where we are going." I batted my eyes a few times, but he didn't notice since he was focussed on the road.

"We are here." He stated with a big smile on his face.

"Really? Yay!" I looked out the window to see that we were at a local beach. Mike came around and opened my door while I was trying to figure out why we were here. "Why are we here?" I asked.

"You'll see, and I promise you'll love it."
Before I could say anything, he grabbed my hand and we started walking towards the water. For a second I thought he was going to try to get me to skinny dip, but then why would he be dressed nice. I quickly dismissed that thought when I saw all the beautiful lights.

"Wow." I stated. There was a round table, about six feet away from the water, and it had a white table cloth with red rose petals all over the top. The ground was also covered in rose petals. There was white Christmas lights hung up on posts and on the ground. "This is beautiful."

"Do you like it?"

"Of course. You set all of this up?"

"Most of it, but I might of had a little help." He pulled out my chair for me and we sat at the table. He pulled out the food and I realized why he got take out. We talked and it was so romantic. It was very quite and peaceful, since it was dark out.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Mike asked.

"Yeah sure. Just let me take of my heels because walking with them in the sand isn't the easiest."

"Okay." I took off my heels and took his hand. We walked on the edge of the water where it splashed up on my feet, but Mike was on the outside, so his shoes didn't get that wet.

Mike stopped after a few minutes of walking in silence. "Carrie. I love you."

"I love you too." Then Mike kissed me. It was passionate and spontaneous. He was holding me tight by my waste to deepen the kiss. After what seemed like not long enough Mike pulled back and we walked back to the car. That night was a very special night.
